iaf_cond_exp – Simple conductance based leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model¶
Description¶
iaf_cond_exp is an implementation of a spiking neuron using IAF dynamics with conductance-based synapses. Incoming spike events induce a postsynaptic change of conductance modelled by an exponential function. The exponential function is normalized such that an event of weight 1.0 results in a peak conductance of 1 nS.
